Yes Democracy can actually help in reducing poverty theortically, but what is seen is that the poverty level still remains the same! Many parties and government come to power but get misleaded by corruption and illegal practices. From a long time ago (2-3 decades) the poverty level in India is the same!

Democracy is government in which power and civic responsibility are exercised by all adult citi- zens, directly, or through their freely elected rep- resentatives. Democracy rests upon the principles of majority rule and individual rights. Fair, frequent, and well-managed elections are essential in a democracy.

Terms in this set (5)

• Fundamental worth of every person. everyone is worthy of being part of our democracy.
• Equality of all persons. everyone has equal opportunity and legal equality, regardless of gender, religion, or race.
• Majority rule and Minority rights.
• Necessity of compromise.
• Individual Freedom.

Four ways in which democracies have been able to reduce inequality and poverty are: Gives equal voting rights to all the citizens. Provides equal opportunity to all the sections of the society. Ensures social equality by protecting the rights of the citizens without discrimination.

Inequality undermines democratic resilience. Inequality increases political polarization, disrupts social cohesion and undermines trust in and support for democracy.

Results suggest that democracy fosters growth by improving the accumulation of human capital and, less robustly, by lowering income inequality. On the other hand, democracy hinders growth by reducing the rate of physical capital accumulation and, less robustly, by raising the ratio of government consumption to GDP.

Income inequality not only distorts democracy in terms of how institutions and political actors respond to different levels of income, but it may have a profound effect on the development of social capital, which affects civic engagement.

Reduction of Inequality and Poverty Democracy is solely based on political equality. Every citizen has an equal weight in electing representatives. So, the idea is to remove this gap between the rich and the poor.
